–A new study showing that women are most effective lawmakers confirms, through the chosen barometer for the study, the inherent complete corruption of the entire political and social system.

–House Republicans want to redefine rape to prevent access to safe and legal abortions in cases thout so called “forcible rape,” and has incredibly been dubbed a top priority by John Banner.
